John Robb thinks that k-logs (fancy word for weblogs) in the corporate environment are a good thing becuase they are archived for posterity.

Could it be, oh, I don't know... SAAAAATAN!?
Oh wow. Jim had himself a creative outburst with my recent be-spectacled pic.
ArmedLiberal
I was pointed to the Armed Liberal by Glenn at InstaPundit. Good site, I've added it to my blogroll.
Glasses
Well, I've been getting headaches at work lately, and when I go to the movies. After Spider-Man and Star Wars I got serious, nausea-inducing, eyes-watering, jackhammer headaches.
Java charting library
I need to find a library for creating charts (report style) in Java. Ideally it should be:
ReplayTV users v. Hollywood
Bravo! The Electronic Frontier Foundation is helping a group of ReplayTV users to sue the entertainment industry (meaning the MPAA) in order to keep the rights that current copyright law and legal precedent give them - the rights to record broadcast tv shows, to skip commercials, etc. -- the stuff you can do with every VCR in existence now. When will the industry learn? Ugh.
Doolittle
Mena of The Morning News ponders The Pixies' Doolittle, a very great, very odd, very Black Francis bit of tunage.
Silk
Unsanity has released Silk, a preference pane for Mac OS X that enabled Quartz text rendering in Carbon applications. Requires Mac OS X 10.1.5, available on Apple's site or in SoftwareUpdate.
Who's my neighbor?
Mark Pilgrim is happily hacking away on interesting uses for the HTML <link> tags a lot of bloggers have been putting up lately.
Whew
After a not-quite-but-almost-panicked weekend, I've got my CVS server rebuilt and up and running. Now to get the backup software on it.
Blogger's Law
Courtesy of the unix quote-spewing utility fortune:
Cohn's Law: The more time you spend in reporting on what you are doing, the less time you have to do anything. Stability is achieved when you spend all your time reporting on the nothing you are doing.
More on the TiBook
I called Apple, the TiBook is still under warranty. I could buy a per-incident plan ($50/incident), let them talk me through checking that the dead pixels really are a hardware problem, then likely not pay for the incident.
Amp it up
AmphetaDesk continues to draw rave reviews, not least because its creator pays attention to his product's users, and is eager to listen to valid criticism if it will make the product better/faster/stronger, i.e., more useful.
Blogroller
OK, I finally got around to creating and populating a blogroll over at blogrolling.com. I know it's a fad perhaps, but I can't help it. (For those who don't know, a blogroll is a list of other blogs you read, and want to link to as a sign of respect.) The cool thing is that I now include my blogroll on this page via the RSS version of it. Now that's nifty.
RSS-to-OPML
(Updated) I now have my blogroll linked from the <head> of this blog (as seems to be all the rage). Blogrolling.com provides an RSS feed of my blogroll, and I used Conversant's rssBox macro to generate an OPML version of my blogroll.
Amphetadesk
Been checking out Amphetadesk again lately. Amphetadesk is a desktop RSS reader, currently in alpha for version 0.93. Its creator, Morbus (aka Kevin), has been doing a great job - Amphetadesk has a new architecture that makes for easy hackability, a virtue for any perl-based software, which Amphetadesk is.
